FT today.

'Ennstone lost 6.4 per cent to 29p as the building materials group denied it had received any approaches. Rumours of a possible bid from Lafarge pushed the shares higher last week'

Any other press comment?

These results just confirm how right one of its major shareholders was a couple of years ago when it convened an EGM to oust the current management on the basis that its performance had been woeful!

palwing, thanks!!! at least they won't be going the same way as; oh I forgot their EPIC.
Have a nice day.

Those buying now are sure winners IMHO.

Ima
According to Feb CDRefs the market expectation for EPS was 2.8p/share,confirmed by house brokers Altium on 14 Jan 2008.They only made half that.Brokers have egg on their face methinks.

they'll be bought out at this price given they're the last quoted agregate business on the LSE. Worth 40p at least.

.... meadow .... I got out this morning when I read the details .... this was nothing like the results I expected ..... let alone what the market expected .... think their previous RNS on result guidance was misleading ....

[meadow50] 11/3/2008 11:18

Eps down from 2.75p to 1.41p is v.poor.Glad I sold after taking up the rights issue.A lot of disappointment for investors but if they drop to 25p I'll condider buying back in.

Auction triggered

[imabastard] 11/3/2008 09:52

...that's why .... the headline ....

' LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Ennstone PLC reported a lower full-year pretax
profit, in line with market expectations, but said that it has laid the right
foundations and made the right investments in recent years to achieve its goals
and objectives for 2008.'

Reading the report it gives the impression of a business that knows what it wants to do, where it is going and how it is to get there. Prospect of land being sold off for residential use in Aberdeen in later years bonus.

[imabastard] 11/3/2008 09:34

.... could be the market was hoping for more .... but they are good results ....

[hvs] 11/3/2008 09:33

I agree,

never been a better time to BUY.

[monkeywrench] 11/3/2008 09:33

Increased profits and dividend. Positive future growth.
So shares drop 9%. Pity they weren't bad results then ?

[hmkwan] 11/3/2008 08:44

down 1.5p. but trade size is small.
still think , the company shares price at 30p, is good to buy??

[bodgit] 11/3/2008 07:44

roadwalker, at first glance, the results read well. Good. I guess the bid premium has just gone up a notch or two then. Interesting to see how the market responds to them. I will continue to hold and probably accumulate on any weakness. Good luck all.
